"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -Cicero

SOROS FUNDS CHRIS CHRISTY

TRENTON —
Gov. Chris Christie is cashing in donations from top Democratic
fundraisers and other traditionally liberal donors across the country,
even nabbing the support of a handful of rainmakers aligned with
President Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Star-Ledger review of
state and federal records shows.The checks are flying into the Republican governor’s war chest from all sorts of unlikely places — the hedge fund run by liberal billionaire George Soros, for example, and the politically progressive halls of the University of California, Berkeley.The nascent support from Democratic donors is an early sign of
Christie’s fundraising prowess in a potential run for the White House in
2016, experts and Democratic donors said, and dovetails with recent
polls showing him gaining popularity nationally among Democrats and
independents.Christie’s partnership with New Jersey Democratic leaders and his
warm relationship with Obama after Hurricane Sandy could be enticing
donors who don’t often give to GOP candidates, even if they are closer
ideologically to Democrat Barbara Buono, Christie’s lesser-known
challenger, political scientists and Democratic fundraisers say.
